ELBKIND-HAMBURG produces maritime designer bags made from 100% recycled sails or in combination with eco-friendly fish leather. Our stunning designs are the result of achieving maximum performance from materials and craftsmanship.

ELBKIND-HAMBURG is different from others ...

We exclusively process authentic, vintage seagoing sails as opposed to new sail cloth material, available by the meter. Even the fine elements that go into our products are all originally derived from recycled sails, from our wallets even to the straps of the keyholders that are worked into our bags. As a consequence, each of our bags are as unique as the sail it came from. Each item is a one of a kind, fully hand-crafted in our own factory in Ecuador.

How to Find Out Exactly What Your Shoe Size Is

Already knowing what size you are, helps you to avoid buying a pair of shoes that you have to return.
Just follow the easy steps below to find out your correct shoe size!
All you need at home to take your proper foot measurement is:
 piece of paper larger than your foot
 pencil
 tape
 ruler or measuring tape

STEPS:

1. Tape a sheet of paper to the floor to keep it from sliding

2. Sit with your foot firmly on the sheet

3. Mark the length of your foot keeping the pencil perpendicular to the paper

4. Measure the length of your foot from its longest points (from the top to bottom)

5. Repeat these steps for your other foot, and use the larger of the two

NOTE: If you are stuck between sizes, go for the bigger size. Our soft fishleather effortlessly adapts to your the foot shape. So, even if there is some more space than usual in front, it will not affect the shoe in terms of comfort or aesthetics.

ECO FRIENDLY FISH LEATHER

The Indigenous tribes in Eastern Siberia once possessed the knowledge to process fish leather.

ELBKIND HAMBURG is doing its part to revive this ancient art. From the wastes of fish production (which is normally discarded and pollutes the environment) emerges unique products, as soft as goatskin.

By using an organic tanning process ELBKIND HAMBURG avoids the use of chromium salts, leaving the final product free of heavy metals that can harm the environment and skin.

As the fish leather stems from the waste of fish farms, the product is an excellent, ecologically sustainable recycled product. Furthermore, using such a unique exotic product helps to protect endangered animals, such as as alligator.

Cleaning Instruction

To keep your fish leather shoes in tip top condition, we recommend using a silicon based spray before wearing them. To remove any scuffs, use a damp cloth to dab the area (do not rub) and leave to dry away from direct sunlight.
